Coming Soon: a new novel by Carol A. Collier
La Florida, Savage Beauty
In 1535, Hernando de Soto sailed to the northern continent of the New World, known in Spain as La Florida. The explorers landed on the Gulf shores then soon headed north on a proposed four-year journey. They anticipated finding gold and silver, not vipers, hostile natives, disease, and starvation.

On this exploration was a fifteen-year old servant named Dolores de Gomera. This is the story of her amazing journey, a story of birth and death, success and failure, love and heartbreak, and a look at the Eastern side of North America in the 16th Century.

Collier’s other books include: An Appalachian Summer, River Dreams, Bokor, Someone’s Watching and Sonoma, Tales of a Twisted Vine.
